DETROIT -- One of the benefits to plugging Detroit Tigers outfielder Quintin Berry in the starting lineup? His speed.

And, not just on the basepaths.

Berry put his wheels on full display in the field when he robbed Minnesota Twins first baseman Justin Morneau of a should-be, run-scoring base hit in the first inning Sunday.

A perfect 20-for-20 in stolen base attempts, Berry made a fully extended diving stab to steal a run -- maybe two -- from Morneau with two outs.

The fantastic grab came less than a week after the 27-year-old speedster injured himself last Tuesday laying out for a shallow pop fly in left field off the bat of A's Josh Reddick.

Berry couldn't come up with the catch, missing by a few inches, and he was forced to exit with a right shoulder injury that didn't prove to be serious. He had X-rays taken, which came back negative.

Apparently, he didn't mind trying it again.

Berry -- who was planted in left-center with the left-handed Morneau batting -- had to make up a lot of ground after Morneau slapped a sinking liner about 10 feet inside the left-field line.

With runners on first and third, Berry used his speed, coupled with a quick jump, to cover about 50-plus yards of real estate and strand the runners.

As he trotted back to the dugout following the inning-ending catch, he was greeted with a handshake from Tigers starter Drew Smyly.
